About Aethlon and the Hemopurifier®
Aethlon is focused on addressing unmet needs in global health. The Aethlon Hemopurifier is a clinical-stage immunotherapeutic device designed to combat cancer and life-threatening viral infections. In cancer, the Hemopurifier is designed to deplete the presence of circulating tumor-derived exosomes that promote immune suppression.

The Hemopurifier® is an FDA designated “Breakthrough Device” related to the treatment of individuals with advanced or metastatic cancer who are either unresponsive to or intolerant of standard of care therapy, and with cancer types in which exosomes have been shown to participate in the development or severity of the disease. Under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application, in October 2019, the FDA approved an Early Feasibility Study (EFS), which is the device equivalent of a Phase 1 clinical trial for a drug or biologic, in a single center, open label trial in 10 to 12 subjects.  The study is evaluating the HEMOPURIFIER® for reducing cancer-associated exosomes prior to the administration of standard-of-care pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®), which is a first-line therapy for patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. The EFS is being conducted at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Hillman Cancer Center.

The Hemopurifier also holds a Breakthrough Device designation related to life-threatening viruses that are not addressed with approved therapies.  In June 2020, the FDA approved an amendment to the Company’s existing open IDE for the Hemopurifier in life threatening viral infections, to allow for the treatment of patients with SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 infection.  This will allow for up to 40 of these patients to be treated under a new Early Feasibility Study protocol at up to 20 clinical sites in the U.S.

Aethlon also owns 80% of Exosome Sciences, Inc., which is focused on the discovery of exosomal biomarkers to diagnose and monitor cancer and neurological disease progression. Additional information can be found online at www.AethlonMedical.com and www.ExosomeSciences.com.

NEW LONDON, Conn., June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The United Service Organizations (USO) announced the opening of a new USO center at the Naval Submarine Base in New London, Connecticut, which was built with the generous assistance of aerospace manufacturer Pratt & Whitney.

“The USO is thrilled to continue our partnership with Pratt & Whitney to provide service members and their families support throughout their military journey,” said Lisa Anastasi, the USO’s Chief Development and Marketing Officer. “The opening of the USO center in New London will help us reach more service members in the Northeast region of the United States and keep them connected to loved ones at home while being able to relax during their downtime.”

The new center helps expand the USO’s support to service members through on-base programs, career resources and a comfortable place to unwind.

“As a Connecticut resident, I’m proud to know that service members and their families in our state will be able to access additional resources and entertainment during their time in New London,” said Ed Reilly, Chairman of the Board of Directors for New York Metro USO. “For more than 80 years, the USO has had a special way of making everyone in its vicinity – including the local community – feel welcome and supported.”

This facility’s construction is part of a larger partnership between the USO and Pratt & Whitney. In 2019, Pratt & Whitney pledged $1 million to help renovate the USO’s Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) facility and build the recently completed USO center in New London. The company also committed to supporting the USO Pathfinder® Transition Program by joining its employer network and participating in employment readiness workshops designed to help the military community find employment and transition from military to civilian life.

“This is an exciting opening, not only for the USO, but for Pratt & Whitney,” said Matthew F. Bromberg, president, Military Engines, Pratt & Whitney. “The USO Connecticut Center is a facility that will provide service members and their families needed resources as well as opportunities to connect and engage. As a company, we know it is critical to assist our service personnel every day, and this center located in our company’s home state is one tangible way to show that support. We are proud to deepen our partnership with the USO and all the good work the organization does across many different areas.”

The USO has more than 250 locations around the world for active-duty service members, reservists, National Guard members and military families to use during training, travel and deployment. Although many centers shifted their programming online during the pandemic, they continued to provide vital resources and entertainment to the military community.
